Rishabh Pant Suspended, Fined Rs 30 Lakh for IPL Code of Conduct Breach
Rishabh Pant Suspended, Fined Rs 30 Lakh for IPL Code of Conduct Breach
Rishabh Pant, the captain of the Delhi Capitals, has been fined and suspended for one match for violating the IPL Code of Conduct. On May 7, during DC’s IPL 2024 encounter versus the Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, it was discovered that they had a sluggish over-rate. Sunday night’s matchup between DC and fellow playoff contenders Royal Challengers Bengaluru will see DC sit fifth in the IPL points standings.
The IPL stated in a statement on Saturday afternoon, “As it was his team’s third offense of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offenses, Rishabh Pant was fined Rs 30 lakh and suspended for one match.” As to the announcement, “the remaining members of the playing XI, which includes the Impact Player, were each fined individually either Rs 12 lakh or 50% of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser.” DC has filed an appeal against Daniel Manohar’s decision. The BCCI Ombudsman was then tasked with reviewing the case.
The Ombudsman upheld the match referee’s ruling as final and legally binding during a virtual hearing. The match referee, BCCI CEO Hemang Amin, Pant, and DC head coach Ricky Ponting were among those in attendance at the hearing. Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket, also attended. Pant countered that the match day in question was the warmest day in Delhi, which contributed significantly to the sluggish over-rate. As a result, Pant said the delay was also caused by this issue. The RR captain Sanju Samson’s dismissal review, he added, took around five or six minutes; thus, the three minutes allotted in lieu of that time are insufficient.

Ponting continued by saying that there was not enough time to make up for the delay caused since there were no more overs available to increase the over rate by using spinners due to the DC bowlers’ many wide deliveries towards the close of the innings. Pant shouldn’t be blamed, he said, for the match’s delay brought on by the bowlers. As opposed to this, Ganguly claimed that although RR’s hitters struck 13 sixes in the course of the innings, DC was only awarded a ball retrieval allowance of 0.30 minutes on three separate occasions.
